Contract Awards

These are the notices containing information about the contract awarded to the supplier/s or a consortium of suppliers. In public procurement contracts are awarded after careful consideration and evaluation on different parameters. Each purchaser has its own evaluation criterion. But for financed projects the purchaser or the Project Implementing Unit (PIU) must follow the guidelines of the financier or the funding agency.
